Graysville Elementary School

Summary:

Graysville Elementary School is a public elementary school in Dayton, Tennessee, serving 229 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Rhea County School District, which is ranked 38 out of 139 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

While Graysville Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of white students (90.83%) compared to surrounding schools, its academic performance is a concern. The school's proficiency rates in Mathematics, English Language Arts, and Science are generally lower than the Rhea County and Tennessee state averages across all grades. Its statewide ranking has dropped from 240 out of 985 Tennessee elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 485 out of 1,008 in 2023-2024, with particularly poor performance in Mathematics. Interestingly, the school's low-socioeconomic status (SES) students perform relatively well, ranking 307 out of 847 Tennessee elementary schools in 2023-2024.

When compared to nearby schools, Allen Elementary and Soddy Elementary, both in the Hamilton County district, consistently outperform Graysville Elementary. Meanwhile, Rhea Central Elementary, another Rhea County school, has a similar performance profile to Graysville Elementary, suggesting potential district-level factors contributing to the school's struggles.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
